PREFACE 

This  list  aims  to  present  a  selection  of  those  books  usually 
classed  with  the  literature  of  travel  that  are  interesting  for 
other  than  merely  geographical  reasons.  They  may  appeal  to 
readers  for  their  style  of  presentation,  for  their  associations, 
for  the  subjects  emphasized,  as  hunting,  folk  lore,  nature,  or 
for  the  personalities  revealed.  Much  of  this  material  has  been 
lost  because  the  usual  geographical  arrangement  has  given  no 
clue  to  the  wealth  of  subject  matter  in  books  of  travel,  and 
people  have  often  failed  to  find  among  them  the  sort  of  thing 
that  they  are  interested  in — adventure,  art,  rural  life,  analysis 
of  national  character — because  there  has  been  no  grouping  of 
travel  literature  by  these  essential  interests. 

The  annotations  are  largely  taken  or  adapted  from  A.  L.  A. 
sources,  supplemented  by  the  notes  in  the  Open  Shelf  list  of 
the  Buffalo  Public  Library  (indicated  by  the  initial  B).  I  am 
glad  to  acknowledge  my  indebtedness  to  Mrs.  Theresa  West 
Elmendorf,  Vice  Librarian  of  the  Buffalo  Public  Library,  for 
very  welcome  advice  and  help,  and  to  my  colleagues  at  Pratt 
Institute  for  their  interest  and  constructive  criticism. 

Because  of  the  fluctuations  in  the  book  market  it  has  not 
been  thought  wise  to  attempt  to  give  the  prices  of  the  books 
listed,  except  in  the  case  of  very  expensive  books,  and  these 
figures  must  be  regarded  as  merely  approximate. 

The  original  intention  was  to  include  only  books  in  print, 
but  a  few  out  of  print  books  that  could  not  be  spared  were 
added  later,  and  others  have  doubtless  gone  out  of  print  since 
Mr.  Parker  of  Baker  &  Taylor  Co.  kindly  revised  the  list 
for  me.

ADVENTURE 

Some  stirring  experiences  will  be  found  here,  others  are 
under  the  headings:  Explorations,  Hunting,  Mountaineer- 
ing, Polar  exploration,  Sea  life.  Vagabonding  and  The 
Wilderness, 

O'Reilly,  Edward  S.     Roving  and  fighting;  adventures  under 
four  flags.     Century,  1918. 

Story  by  a  rover  who  enlisted  in  the  Spanish-American  war,  fought  in 
the  Philippines,  went  to  Japan  where  he  opened  an  English  school,  entered 
the  Chinese  army,  "hoboed"  his  way  to  Chicago,  and  took  part  in  revolu- 
tions in  Venezuela  and  the  Mexican  overthrow  of  Diaz.  The  book  is  full 
of  entertaining  anecdotes  and  gives  interesting  glimpses  of  people  and 
political  affairs. 

Safroni-Middleton,  A.     A  vagabond's  Odyssey.     Dodd,  1916. 

The  tales  of  a  sailor  who  with  his  violin  shipped  from  Boston  to  Eng- 
land and  from  England  to  the  South  Seas.  He  played  with  native 
orchestras  at  wedding  festivals,  listened  to  stories  of  beach  combers  and 
cannibal  kings  and  met  Robert  Louis  Stevenson  in  his  Samoan  home. 

Burnaby,  Frederick.    Ride  to  Khiva.    Funk,  1875. 

A  capital  account  of  Russian  central  Asia  before  the  construction  of  the 
Trans-Caspian  railway. — H.  R.  Mill    (B). 

Kennan,  George.    Tent-life  in  Siberia.    Putnam,  1903. 

Story  of  the  effort  of  the  Western  Union  to  build  a  line  of  telegraph 
up  the  west  coast  of  America  and  down  the  east  coast  of  Asia.  Sir 
Roderick  Murchison  calls  it  first  of  modern  books  of  travel.     Nation. 

Tisdale,  Alice.   Pioneering  where  the  world  is  old.   Holt,  1917. 

Descriptions  of  a  journey  taken  by  the  author  with  her  husband  through 
Manchuria.  They  traveled  in  a  bullock-cart,  stayed  at  native  inns,  made  a 
western  home  out  of  the  most  primitive  material  and  had  adventures  in 
plenty  with  native  drivers  and  brigands.  Throughout  runs  the  true  love 
and  enjoyment  of  adventure,  which  makes  it  all  a  lark. 

Thornhill,  J.  B.     Adventures  in  Africa  under  the  British,  Bel- 
gian and  Portugese  flags.     Murray,  1915. 

For  people  who  care  for  adventure  in  wild  places  and  who  understand 
the  pioneering  spirit. 


8  VIEWPOINTS  IN  TRAVEL 

Grenfell,  Sir  Wilfred  Thomason.  Adrift  on  an  ice-pan.  Hough- 
ton, 1909. 

A  graphic  account  of  one  perilous  night  spent  in  company  with  his 
dogs  on  an  ice-pan  (an  enormous  block  of  ice)  .  .  .  It  is  a  human 
document  that  reveals  the  unafraid  determination  with  which  a  strong 
man  uses  every  device  to  prolong  life. 

Snow,  H.  J.    In  forbidden  seas :  recollections  of  sea-otter  hunt- 
ing in  the  Kurils.     Longmans,  1910.     o.  p. 

A  book  abounding  in  dangers  of  many  sorts,  dangers  of  wind  and  of 
sea,  of  hostile  natives  and  rival  hunters. 

Stuck,  Hudson.    Ten  thousand  miles  with  a  dog  sled.    Scrib- 
ner,  1914. 

A  virile  tale  of  winter  life  and  travel  in  the  Yukon  valley.  As  a  story 
of  hardy  courage  and  endurance  it  is  almost  unsurpassed.  It  has  value 
also  for  its  sympathetic  studies  of  the  natives. 

Lange,  Algot.    The  lower  Amazon.     Putnam,  1914. 

An  interesting  account  of  the  author's  experiences  in  a  different  district 
from  that  discussed  in  The  Amazon  jungle.  Besides  furnishing  adventure 
and  a  picture  of  savage  life  for  the  general  reader,  the  book  offers  valu- 
able information  to  business  men  and  students,  on  general  conditions  of 
the  country,  different  kinds  of  timber  available,  a  vocabulary  used  by  the 
Indians,  and  describes  fragments  of  ancient  pottery  found  and  something 
of  the  Amazonian  folklore.   Many  intimate  illustrations  from  photographs. 

Mathews,  Mrs.  Gertrude  (Singleton).     Treasure.     Holt,  1917. 

A  mining  engineer  went  to  Dutch  Guiana  in  an  adventurous  search  for 
a  lost  gold  mine.  He  told  his  experiences  to  Mrs.  Mathews,  who  here 
records  fascinating  descriptions  of  the  "Bush,"  the  natives,  his  methods 
of  mining,  giving  the  engineer's  real  love  of  primitive  life  and  the  beauty 
of  the  tropics. 

Whitney,  Caspar.    The  flowing  road.     Lippincott,  1912. 

Recounts  in  continuous  narrative  the  author's  experiences  and  adven- 
tures during  five  separate  overland  and  river  expeditions,  largely  by  canoe, 
in  Brazil,  Venezuela  and  Argentine.  Incidental  commentary  on  the  eco- 
nomic and  social  conditions  of  the  land  dispel  many  popular  illusions 
concerning  that  misrepresented  continent  and  there  are  frequent  descrip- 
tions of  hunting  expeditions.  Though  detailed,  it  gives  a  vivid  picture, 
is  written  in  an  informal,  spontaneous  manner,  and  is  well  illustrated  by 
the  author's  photographs. 

Fitzpatrick,  Sir  James  Percy.    Jock  of  the  Bushveld.     Long- 
mans, 1909. 

Adventures  of  a  remarkable  dog,  giving  a  faithful  picture  of  the  heroic 
days  of  the  Bushveld  and  of  South  Africa,  the  country,  natives  and  animal 
life. 


VIEWPOINTS  IN  TRAVEL  9 

ANTIQUITIES 

Books  that  emphasize  the  traces  of  the  past  found  in  the 
countries  visited.  This  list  does  not  include  books  that  are 
distinctly  archaelogical. 

Bell,   Gertrude   Lowthian.     Amurath   to   Amurath.     Dutton, 
1911. 

Records  a  five  months'  journey  from  Aleppo  down  the  Euphrates,  up 
the  Tigris  and  across  to  Konia.  One  of  the  most  authoritative  and  com- 
prehensive works  on  the  antiquities  of  Mesopotamia,  and  extremely  inter- 
esting as  a  study  of  the  daily  lives  of  the  people  of  Asiatic  Turkey  and 
their  attitude  toward  the  Turkish  government. 

Jackson,  Abraham  Valentine  Williams.    Persia,  past  and  pres- 
ent; a  book  of  travel  and  research.    Macmillan,  1906. 

Exhaustive,  scholarly  work,  of  interest  to  the  student  for  its  ethnological 
and  archeological  information  and  its  consideration  of  Zoroastrianism,  to 
the  general  reader  for  the  descriptive  sections. 

Stein,  Mark  Aurel.    Ruins  of  desert  Cathay.    Macmillan,  1912. 
$12.50.   o.  p. 

A  monumental  work  recording  the  archeological  and  geographical  ex- 
plorations made  by  the  author  (1906-8)  in  central  Asia  and  westermost 
China.  Modern  inhabitants  of  the  waste  country  are  described  with  sym- 
pathy and  insight  born  of  intimate  knowledge,  and  the  volumes  are  full  of 
vivid  human  and  artistic  as  well  as  scientific  interest.  Illustrations  from 
photographs  and  reproductions,  in  color,  of  ancient  objects  of  art. 

Edwards,  Amelia  Ann  Blanford.     A  thousand  miles  up  the 
Nile.     Dutton,  1899. 

Excellent  companion  and  guidebook.  Parts  relating  to  ancient  history 
and  interpretation  of  inscriptions  authoritative. 


ARCHITECTURE 

Many  descriptions  and  illustrations  of  beautiful  buildings 
will  be  found  here.  Some  of  the  books  under  the  heading  Art 
have  a  similar  interest. 

Edwards,  George  Wharton.     Vanished  halls  and  cathedrals 
of  France.   Penn,  1916.    $5. 

Pictures  and  descriptions  of  the  beautiful  cathedrals  of  France  most  of 
which  have  been  destroyed  by  Germany  on  her  "kultured"  advance  in  the 
present  war.  It  preserves  for  us  that  which  we  shall  never  sec  again, 
except  in  ruins. 


10  VIEWPOINTS  IN  TRAVEL 

Fryer,  Eugenie  Mary.     The  hill-towns  of  France.     Button, 
1917. 

Delightful  sketches,  descriptive  and  historical,  of  these  oldest  towns  of 
France.  The  author's  keen  appreciation  of  beauty  and  knowledge  of  archi- 
tecture will  hold  the  interest  of  the  well-informed  reader.  In  the  archi- 
tecture, which  is  described  in  some  detail,  the  author  believes  may  be  found 
the  key  to  the  spirit  of  the  early  builders. 

Jackson,  Sir  Thomas  Graham.     A  holiday  in  Umbria.     Holt, 
1917. 

The  journey  of  a  well  known  English  architect  into  a  little  known  part 
of  Italy  in  1881  and  1889.  His  interest  is  primarily  in  the  ancient  archi- 
tecture but  his  descriptions  are  accompanied  by  interesting  historical  details 
which  broaden  the  appeal  and  give  it  worth  as  a  book  of  travel.  Extracts 
from  //  Cortegiano  give  a  contemporary  account  of  the  court  life  in 
Umbria  in  the  sixteenth  century. 

Edwards,  George  Wharton.     Vanished  towers  and  chimes  of 
Flanders.     Penn,  1916.     $5. 

A  gift  book  with  thirty-one  full-page  illustrations,  many  in  color.  Beau- 
tiful, with  interesting  text  partly  historical,  partly  personal  reminiscences 
of  what  happened  while  the  artist-author  was  making  his  pictures. 

Stratton,  Mary.    Bruges.    Scribner,  1914. 

A  brief  record  by  one  to  whom  Bruges  is  a  personality.  After  a  short 
historical  sketch,  the  main  characteristics  and  the  unusual  features  of  the 
city  are  described  partly  with  a  view  to  their  picturesqueness,  but  specially 
to  their  architectural  form.  Charles  Wade  illustrates  with  120  admirable 
line  drawings  of  places  of  architectural  interest  with  details  of  buildings, 
ornamentation,  etc. 


ART 

Lucas,  Edward  Verrall.    A  wanderer  in  London.     Macmillan, 
1906. 

Loiterings  among  old  and  new  scenes,  and  specially  picture  galleries. 
Presupposes  some  knowledge  of  history,  literature  and  art  and  is  always 
entertaining. 

A  wanderer  in  Paris.    Macmillan,  1909. 

Unaccompanied  holiday  saunterings  through  the  streets,  gardens,  shrines, 
show  places  and  artistic  haunts  of  Paris.  Some  knowledge  of  history, 
literature  and  art  is  presupposed. 


A  wanderer  in  Florence.    Macmillan,  1912. 

A  guide  to  the  galleries  and  public  buildings  in  this  "City  of  the  mira- 
cle," allying  literary  charm  to  a  surprising  amount  of  interesting  informa- 
tion about  the  important  works  of  art  and  to  the  sensitive  impressions  of 


VIEWPOINTS  IN  TRAVEL  11 

a  writer  practised  in  observation.  By  connecting  the  biographies  of  great 

men,  such  as  the  Medici,  Dante,  Savonarola,  Boccaccio,  etc.,  with  some 

center  where  their  activity  found  special  development  unity  is  given  to  a 
thoroughly  delightful  book. 

Lucas,  E.  V.   A  wanderer  in  Venice.   Macmillan,  1914. 

A  sort  of  glorified  guide  to  the  art  treasures,  buildings,  literary  land- 
marks, and  other  points  of  interest,  designed  like  the  volumes  on  London 
and  Paris  "to  kindle  enthusiasm,  to  create  a  taste,"  rather  than  to  instruct. 
Yet  abundant  information  is  given,  in  the  author's  own  leisurely,  attractive 
style,  making  the  book  one  of  real  value  for  the  traveler  abroad  or  by  the 
fireside.     Sixteen  colored  plates. 

Williams,  Egerton  Ryerson,  Jr.    Hill-towns  of  Italy.    Hough- 
ton, 1903. 

An  introduction  to  rather  inaccessible,  rarely  visited,  but  most  interesting 
places. 

Plain-towns  of  Italy  ;  the  cities  of  old  Venetia.    Hough- 
ton, 1911. 

A  companion  volume  to  Hill-Toums  of  Italy,  giving  in  a  scholarly,  inter- 
esting way  much  information  on  the  art,  history,  legends  and  architecture 
of  Padua,  Verona,  Brescia,  Vicenza,  Treviso,  and  a  dozen  less  known 
towns. 


ARTISTS'   IMPRESSIONS 

Records  of  travel  made  by  pen  and  pencil. 

Smith,  F.  Hopkinson.    Gondola  days.    Houghton,  1897. 
Text  from  Venice  of  to-day.    Illustrated  by  the  author. 

White    umbrella    in    Mexico;    illus.    by    the    author. 


Houghton,  1889. 

The  grace  of  these  artistic  travels  lies  in  freedom  from  fixed  plan  and 
grasping  of  instantaneous  impressions. 

Peixotto,    Ernest.      Pacific    shores    from    Panama.      Scribner, 
1913. 

He  travels  from  Panama  down  the  west  coast  to  Peru  and  Bolivia.  He 
visits  Lima,  and  he  goes  to  what  he  calls  "the  roof  of  the  world,"  spending 
some  time  in  the  land  of  the  Incas,  especially  at  Cuzco.  .  .  .  He  goes 
to  Lake  Titicaca  and  into  Bolivia.  Wherever  he  goes  he  is  the  artist. 
.  .  .  Mr.  Peixotto's  pencil  docs  much  in  a  few  lines,  and  the  same  is 
true  of  his  pen.  His  sketches,  whether  by  pencil  or  pen,  are  delicious. — 
Outlook.     (B)

BIRDS 

Material  will  also  be  found  under  the  heading  Natural 
History. 

Townsend,  Charles  Wendell.    In  Audubon's  Labrador.  Hough- 
ton, 1918. 

A  short  history  of  the  Audubon  expedition  of  1833,  followed  by  a  record 
of  the  author's  travels  through  the  same  region.  It  contains  interesting 
observations  on  bird  life,  plants,  inhabitants  and  physical  features  of  the 
particular  part  of  the  country  explored. 

BoUes,  Frank.     Land  of  the  lingering  snow,    Houghton,  189L 

Short  essays  describing  country  tramps  near  Boston,  or  in  eastern  Mas- 
sachusetts. Gives  much  information  concerning  homes  and  habits  of 
birds. 

Torrey,  Bradford.    Spring  notes  from  Tennessee.     Houghton, 
1896. 
Bird  studies  made  on  Tennessee  battlefields. 

Field-days  in  California.     Houghton,  1913. 

Fifteen  genial  essays  and  sketches,  dealing  mainly  with  bird-life  in  Cali- 
fornia, but  including  also  chapters  on  the  Grand  Canon,  the  Yosemite  and 
the  redwood  grove  near  Santa  Cruz,  and  a  delightful  essay  on  the  pleas- 
ures of  reading  a  checklist. 

Haviland,  Maud  D.     A  summer  on  the  Yenesei.     Longmans, 
1915. 

The  author,  a  keen  observer  of  bird  life,  recounts  the  adventures  of  a 
party  of  four,  which  traveled  during  the  summer  of  1914,  2,000  miles  on 
the  Yenesei  River.  The  friendly  gossip  of  travel,  descriptions  of  bird  life 
on  the  "tundra"  and  observations  on  the  Siberian  colonists  and  shy  natives 
are  pleasantly  intermingled.     Good  illustrations. 

Beebe,  Mary  Blair  and  Charles  William.     Our  search  for  a 
wilderness.     Holt,  1910. 

An  account  of  two  ornithological  expeditions,  the  first  through  the 
jungle  north  of  the  Orinoco  delta,  the  second  through  the  wilderness  of 
British  Guiana.    The  narrative  is  full  of  life,  color  and  constant  surprise. 


CLASSICS  OF  TRAVEL 

These  are  books  of  perennial  interest.  The  literature  of 
Travel  is  largely  ephemeral,  but  these  have  survived  where 
many  later  books  have  disappeared. 


VIEWPOINTS  IN  TRAVEL  13 

Borrow,  George.  The  Bible  in  Spain  ;  or,  The  journeys,  adven- 
tures and  imprisonments  of  an  Englisliman  in  an  attempt 
to  circulate  the  Scriptures  in  the  peninsula ;  new  ed., 
with  notes  and  a  glossary,  by  U.  R.  Burke.    Putnam. 

A  thrilling  narrative  of  travel  and  adventure  in  Spain  as  it  was  in 
1835.—//.  R.  Mill. 

Emerson,  Ralph  Waldo.  English  traits.  Rev.  ed.  Houghton, 
1891.    First  ed.  1856. 

Its  genuine  insight  into  the  real  character  and  underlying  forces  of 
English  civilization  makes  this  of  enduring  interest. 

Hawthorne,  Nathanial.  Our  old  home  and  English  note 
books.     Houghton.     2v. 

The  result  of  Hawthorne's  consular  life  in  England:  the  two  are  alike 
and  yet  different,  they  resemble  each  other  as  an  English  flower  garden 
resembles  an  English  park;  in  the  one  there  is  more  of  elaboration,  in  the 
latter  more  of  ease. — Atlatitic. 

Heine,  Heinrich.  Pictures  of  travel.  Translated  by  H.  D. 
Gillman.     Low,  1907. 

These  witty  and  entertaining  sketches  are  translated  with  liveliness  and 
ease,  though  not  with  scholarly  exactness.  They  were  first  published  in 
Germany  in  1831. 

Irving,  Washington.  The  Alhambra,  with  an  introd.  by  E.  R. 
Pennell  and  illus.  by  Joseph  Pennell.  Macmillan,  1896. 
First  ed.    Phil.,  1832. 

The  charm  of  "The  Alhambra"  is  largely  in  the  leisurely,  loitering, 
dreamy  spirit  in  which  the  temporary  American  resident  of  the  ancient 
palace-fortress  entered  into  its  mouldering  beauties  and  romantic  associa- 
tions.— C.  D.  Warner.     (B) 

Kinglake,  Alexander  William.  Eothen,  with  an  introduction 
by  James  Bryce.     Century,  1900. 

The  record  of  a  journey  made  to  the  East  about  1835.  It  is  delightfully 
compounded  of  personal  impressions  with  a  small  proportion  of  outward 
facts. 

Parkman,  Francis.  Oregon  Trail.  Illus.  by  Frederick  Rem- 
ington.    Little,  1918. 

Parkman's  first  book,  describing  his  actual  wanderings  in  1846,  with  a 
company  of  Siou.x  Indians  across  the  regions  of  the  Platte  river,  buffalo

First  ed.,  1862. 

The  eye  of  an  artist,  the  knowledge  of  a  scholar,  the  sympathy  of  a  lover 
of  the  city  and  its  people,  combined  to  make  this  one  of  the  best  descrip- 
tions of  Rome.

$500  earned  on  the  road. 

Twain,  Mark.    The  innocents  abroad.   Harper.   First  ed.   1869. 

Besides  much  excellent  fooling  and  vigorous  destruction  of  what  is 
revered  but  not  reverend,  there  is  in  "Innocents  Abroad"  a  good  deal  of 
fine,  clear  description  of  things  seen.  Indeed,  the  book  is  on  the  whole  a 
serious  report  of  sights  and  events. — John  Macy.     (B) 

Young,  Arthur.  Travels  in  France  by  Arthur  Young  during

in  the  world.    Button,  1911. 

A  simple  and  very  pleasing  account  of  the  author's  journey  to  Mt.  Sinai 
by  the  old  pilgrims'  way,  starting  from  the  quarantine  station  of  Tor.  His 
pleasure  in  the  events  of  the  trip,  the  life  and  beauty  of  the  desert,  and  the 
significance  of  all  he  saw  he  succeeds  in  passing  on  to  his  reader, 
though  he  uses  no  "fine  language."  The  forty-seven  illustrations  are 
characteristic. 

Woodberry,  George  Edward.     North  Africa  and  the  desert; 
scenes  and  moods.    Scribner,  1914. 

A  reader  rises  from  some  descriptive  passages  [of  this  book]  with  the

his  every-day  observations  of  people,  details  of  scenery,  color,  .  .  .

1916. 

Mr.  Scully  is,  or  should  be,  well  known  as  a  writer  on  South  African 
subjects.  His  Kafir  stones,  with  their  unflinching  directness  of  presenta- 
tion and  their  vivid  colouring,  were  not  likely,  once  read,  to  be  forgotten ; 
and  the  volume  before  us  shows  something  of  the  same  quality.  .  .  .

Dickinson,  Goldsworthy  Lowes.     Appearances.     Doubleday, 
1914. 

Detached  sketches  of  institutions,  places  and  types  in  the  Far  East  and 
America.  There  is  in  them  a  graceful  blending  of  travel  pictures,  the 
reflections  and  meditations  of  an  experienced  observer,  and  much  sug- 
gestive criticism,  as  the  writer  records  the  social  and  spiritual  conflict 
between  the  East  and  the  West. 

Cooper,  Clayton  Sedgwick.     The  modernizing  of  the  Orient. 
McBride.  1914.

and  West,  the  writer  makes  an  interesting  study  of  conditions,  as  he  has 
observed  them,  in  North  Africa,  India,  China,  Japan,  and  the  Philippines. 
He  believes  strongly  that  while  the  East  has  undoubtedly  benefited  by  the 
contact,  the  permanent  modernizing  of  thought  and  society  must  grow  out 
of  the  "awakened,  active  brain  and  heart"  of  the  East  herself. 

Noble,  Margaret  E.    Studies  from  an  Eastern  home,  by  Sister 
Nivedita.     Longmans,  1913. 

The  author  was  an  Irishwoman  who  embraced  Vedantisni  and  founded 
a  school  for  Hindu  girls  in  Calcutta.  She  loved  the  East  and  its  people, 
"above  all,  she  loved  their  indifiference  to  the  common  aims  of  earthly 
satisfaction,  comfort,  amusement  and  success,  their  perpetual  conscious- 
ness of  eternal  things,  and  their  meditation  upon  the  glories  that  human 
thought  appears  at  moments  to  reveal." — Nation  (Eng.).  These  slight 
sketches  reveal  to  the  West  some  of  the  charm  and  mystery  of  India. 


EXPLORATIONS 

These  books  are  full  of  the  thrill  of  discovery.  Under  the 
heading  Polar  Exploration  will  be  found  records  of  both  Arctic

records  of  Mr.  Muir's  feeling  for  the  beauty  and  wonder  of  the  Alaskan

taken  from  three  journeys,  1879,  1881,  and  1890. 

Young,  Samuel  Hall.     Alaska  days  with  John  Muir.     Revell,

southwestern  Wyoming.    Good  to  read  aloud. 

Talbot,  Ethelbert.    My  people  of  the  plains.    Harper,  1906. 

Let  no  one  think  that  because  the  book  is  written  by  an  Episcopal  bishop 
it  is  an  account  of  ceremonies  and  sermons.  It  is  a  human,  not  an  eccle- 
siastical, document,  and  the  pictures  it  gives  of  pioneer  life  in  Wyoming 
and  Idaho,  among  cattlemen,  gamblers,  adventurers,  Indians  and  army 
men  are  full  of  life  and  interest.

reminiscence  and  actualites,  and  the  hundred  and  thirty-odd  illustrations, 
many  of  which  are  taken  from  old  maps  and  prints,  add  to  the  vividness  of 
its  gossipy  learning." — Dial.

1915. 

Pleasant,  gossipy  rambles  about  the  city  and  its  environs.  The  writer

the  southern  counties  of  England.  It  takes  us  on  a  pleasant,  leisurely 
journey  over  the  roads  of  Kent,  Sussex  and  Hampshire.  With  all  his  love

tions, and  chiefly  in  the  cathedrals  and  churchly  traditions.

Apennines.    2d  ed.     Macmillan,  1909. 

A  charming  book.  .  .  .  She  had  an  old  country  castle  near  Carraar

Daniels,  Heber  K.     Home  life  in  Norway.     Macmillan,  1911.

pathy and  enthusiasm  to  an  intimate  account  of  the  town  and  country  life 
of  a  people  "without  an  aristocracy  or  nobility."  The  book  is  one  of  the 
most  interesting  on  the  Norwegians  and  gives  a  better  idea  of  their  social 
forms  and  manners  than  is  obtainable  elsewhere. 


Garnett,  Lucy  Mary  Jane.    Balkan  home  life.    Dodd,  1917. 

The  normal  "before  the  war"  mode  of  living  of  the  Albanians,  Greeks, 
Bulgarians,  and  Osmanlis  is  presented  in  this  study  which  records  much 
that  is  interesting  of  their  manners,  morals,  beliefs  and  superstitions. 

Headland,  Isaac  Taylor.     Home  life  in  China.     Macmillan, 
1914.

school  life,  marriage,  women,  ceremonies  and  religion,  peasant  life,  dress 
and  hospitality — by  one  who  knows  intimately,  told  in  a  homely,  easy- 
running  style  with  many  anecdotes.

The  work  of  two  Chinese  students  of  sociology  and  economics,  both 
graduates  of  the  University  of  London.  The  first  takes  up  village  life, 
the  family,  the  clan ;  the  second  deals  more  particularly  with  town  admin- 
istration and  social  life  and  the  popular  side  of  Chinese  Buddhism.  Despite 
some  repetition,  of  value  as  a  well  informed,  popular  study  of  the  Chinese 
social  unit,  the  family,  from  the  Chinese  point  of  view.

Two  horseback  journeys,  covering  practically  the  entire  coast  line  of

Through  Glacier  Park.     Houghton,  1916. 

Entertaining  record  of  a  three-hundred-mile  trip  across  the  Rocky

HUNTING 

Mostly  big  game  hunting.  Many  of  the  books  under 
Explorations  and  under  Natural  History  devote  much  space 
to  hunting  as  well. 

Herbert,  Agnes.     Casuals  in  the  Caucasus.     Lane,  1911. 

The  author's  hunting,  climbing  and  sightseeing  experiences  in  the  Cau- 
casus are  gaily  told  with  an  abundance  of  episodes  which  now  and  then 
have  a  fiction  flavor.  Her  account  of  the  Caucasian  people  under  Russian 
rule  is  intelligent,  if  superficial,  and  her  joyous  appreciation  of  wild  scenes 
unforced.  The  feminine  touch  is  at  times  too  apparent,  but  the  book 
remains  wholesome,  interesting  and  attractive  to  the  reader  of  lighter 
books  of  travel.     Illustrations  from  photographs. 

Baden-Powell,  Sir  Robert  Stephenson  Smyth.  Memories  of 
India.    McKay,  1915. 

Drawn  largely  from  the  writer's  letters  and  diaries  while  subaltern  in 
the  Thirteenth  Hussars,  the  recollections  give  a  fresh,  live  account  of 
Indian  army  life,  with  its  round  of  work  diversified  by  sport,  specially 
big  game  shooting.  "Through  many  of  the  incidents  and  anecdotes  there 
is  transparent  the  ingenuity,  the  unconventionality  .  .  .  the  love  of 
character,  whether  in  a  man  or  an  animal,  which  are,  we  suppose,  the  chief 
characteristics  of  Sir  Robert  Baden-Powell."  Illustrated  by  the  author's 
sketches,  partly  in  color.

a  nice  sense  of  humor.     A  companion  volume  to  his  Land  of  footprints.

Graphic  and  entertaining  account  of  a  year  of  travel  and  hunting  in 
East  Equatorial  Africa,  the  exploits  of  which  are  related  without  exag- 
gerating or  minimizing  the  dangers  they  involved,  thus  conveying  an 
unusual  sense  of  reality  and  candor.  In  the  appendix  is  described  the 
necessary  equipment  for  an  American  traveler  and  there  are  good  illus- 
trations from  photographs  and  drawings.

lotte Islands,  1906,  and  for  bear  on  Admiralty  Island,  1909.  They  are 
largely  transcribed  from  day-to-day  journals  and  contain  much  irrelevant 
detail  which  will  interest  only  hunters  in  these  or  similar  regions,  but  as  a 
whole  the  book  contributes  a  good  deal  to  our  knowledge  both  of  the 
country  and  its  animal  life.  Many  beautiful  illustrations,  five  maps  and 
full  index.

There  are  many  entertaining  incidents  of  travel  and  stories  of  the  early 
frontier  days,  with  much  constructive  criticism  of  the  state  laws  which 
preserve  the  antelope,  moose  and  elk  from  the  hunter  only  to  let  them  die

starting  on  the  elk  hunt,  the  journey  of  three  hundred  miles  to  the

course,  the  story  is  livened  with  human  touches  and  experiences  along 
the  way.

popular  way  with  the  character  of  the  Canadian  people,  with  Canadian 
conditions,  economic,  political,  social,  and  with  recent  and  present-day 
problems.  Informing  and  readable,  more  so,  perhaps,  because  the  treat- 
ment is  frequently  personal ;  very  enthusiastic  regarding  present  and  future 
possibilities.     "Optimism  is  the  dominant  note." 

Putnam,  George  Palmer.     The  southland  of  North  America.

made  an  intimate  study  of  present  economic,  political  and  social  conditions

are  keen  and  discriminating. 

Elliott,  Lilian  Elwyn.     Brazil  today  and  tomorrow,     Macmil- 
lan,  1917. 

Not  a  travel  book,  but  one  which  will  interest  men  about  to  establish  or 
promote  business  in  South  America.  After  discussing  the  history  and 
social  conditions  of  Brazil,  the  author  goes  into  its  economic  development, 
taking  up  transportation,  industries  (agricultural  and  manufacturing), 
finance,  and  exterior  commerce.  There  is  a  good  map,  many  illustrations, 
and  a  glossary  of  Brazilian  terms.

of  the  principal  towns,  country  life,  social  customs  and  racial  idiosyncra- 
cies  will  interest  the  general  reader.

INTERPRETATIONS 

These  are  by  natives  for  the  enlightenment  of  foreigners. 
Other  studies  in  interpretation  may  be  found  among  the 
books  under  National  Characteristics,  National  Ideals,  The 
Spirit  of  Places,  and  The  United  States  and  Japan. 

Alexinsky,  Gregor.  Modern  Russia ;  tr.  from  the  French  by 
Bernard  Miali.     Scribner,  1913. 

A  cyclopedic  survey  of  Russia  by  a  dispassionate  and  ruthless  observer, 
written  from  full  knowledge  to  afford  foreigners  an  understanding  of  the 
country  past  and  present  in  all  its  aspects.  His  viewpoint  is  first  and 
foremost  that  of  the  economist,  then  that  of  the  critic  of  existing  gov- 
ernmental methods,  specially  in  dealing  with  the  lower  classes. 

Wiener,  Leo.  An  interpretation  of  the  Russian  people.  Mc- 
Bride,  1915. 

An  authoritative  and  interesting  book,  ably  written  by  a  professor  at 
Harvard,  Russian  by  birth  and  education.  Full  of  information,  not  of 
facts  alone,  but  also  from  the  philosophical  treatment  of  those  facts. 
The  origin  of  the  people,  their  characteristics,  religions,  their  expression 
of  themselves  in  music,  art,  literature,  are  all  treated  in  a  scholarly  yet 
vivid  and  forceful  manner. 

Velimirovic,  Nikolaj.  Serbia  in  light  and  darkness ;  with 
preface  by  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury.  Longmans, 
1916. 

The  main  interest  of  this  little  book  lies  in  the  authenticity  of  its  source 
rather  than  in  the  information  conveyed.  It  is  the  word  of  a  Serbian 
priest  speaking  before  the  people  of  England,  that  they  may  appreciate 
something  of  his  countrymen's  heroic  history  and  of  their  spirit  in  times 
of  peace  and  in  their  present  martyrdom.  Appended  are  translations  of 
Serbian  proverbs  and  poems. 

Okakura-Yoshisaburo.  The  life  and  thought  of  Japan.  But- 
ton, 1913. 

In  an  unassuming  and  informal  style,  the  author  develops  his  thesis  that 
the  fundamental  spirit  of  Japanese  character  remains  the  same  in  spite  of 
its  ability  to  assimilate  and  cultivate  and  tolerate  all  other  forms  of 
religion  and  civilization,  and  gives  new  insit^ht  on  the  ultimate  principles 
of  the  religious  and  social  psychology  of  Japan. 


THE  JUNGLE 

Beebe,  Charles  William.    Jungle  peace.     Holt,  1918. 

A   fascinating  book,  giving  descriptions   of   experiences   in  the   South 
American  jungle.    The  author  is  evidently  a  born  naturalist  and  is  cer-

tainly  a  born  writer,  so  that  we  follow  him  "quietly  and  receptively  into 
the  life  of  the  jungle,  to  accept  all  things  as  worthy  and  reasonable;  to 
sense  the  beauty,  the  joy,  the  majestic  serenity  of  this  age-old  fraternity 
of  nature,  into  whose  sanctuary  man's  entrance  is  unnoticed,  his  absence 
unregretted.     The  peace  of  the  jungle  is  beyond  all  telling." 

Hornaday,  W.  T.  Two  years  in  the  jungle ;  the  experiences 
of  a  hunter  and  naturalist  in  India,  Ceylon,  Malay  pen- 
insula and  Borneo.   Ed.  7.   Scribner,  1901.

Thrilling  adventures  of  an  American  explorer  in  the  rubber-tree  country 
at  the  headwaters  of  the  Amazon.  He  describes  the  methods  of  obtaining 
rubber,  and  what  befell  him  after  his  two  companions  died,  and  he  him- 
self, delirious  with  fever,  was  found  and  cared  for  by  a  tribe  of  friendly 
cannibals.  He  describes  the  preparation  of  the  deadly  woiirahi  (curare) 
arrows,  cannibal  feasts,  a  battle  between  cannibals  and  Peruvians,  his  dis- 
covery of  gold  and  his  return  to  the  lower  Amazon  and  civilization. 
Maps  and  illustrations  from  the  author's  photographs. 

Tomlinson,  H.  W.    The  sea  and  the  jungle.     Button,  1913. 

Wonderfully  vivid  word-pictures  of  the  Brazilian  jungle  and  the  varied 
moods  of  the  sea,  as  well  as  lively  descriptions  of  life  aboard  ship.

of  London.     Button,  1912. 

In  identifying  these  houses  where  celebrated  authors  and  artists  lived, 
the  writer's  purpose  has  been  to  throw  light  on  the  personalities  of  their 
inhabitants,  and  "to  recapture  the  atmosphere  that  belonged  to  such  places 
in  the  days  that  have  made  them  memorable."  This  he  has  done  by  quot- 
ing from  contemporary  memoirs,  etc.,  and  supplying  a  narrative  of  inci- 
dents and  events.  A  delightful  book,  of  interest  to  the  general  reader  as 
well  as  a  guide  to  the  visitor  in  London.  Fully  and  interestingly  illus- 
trated.

An  enthusiastic  search  for  traces  in  modern  I'lorence  of  the  Diinna

LITERATURE 

Brandes,  Georg.    Poland ;  a  study  of  the  land,  people  and  litera- 
ture.   Macmillan,  1903. 

A  most  eloquent  apologia  for  this  unfortunate  people.  In  large  part,  a 
survey  of  Polish  literature. 

Bell,  Aubrey  F.  G.    The  magic  of  Spain.    Lane,  1912, 

Out  of  an  intimate  knowledge  of  the  country  the  author  gives  charming 
glimpses  of  rural  Spain  and  the  best  interpretive  review  (seven  chapters) 
of  modern  Spanish  literature  yet  published.  Political  conditions  are  not 
considered.  Chapters  of  special  interest  deal  with  the  southern  provinces, 
the  novels  of  Galdos  and  Ibanez,  and  with  El  Greco  and  his  paintings. 

MEDICAL  MISSIONS 

Medical  missionaries  are  the  modern  knights  errant,  adven- 
ture and  danger  fall  to  their  lot  and  they  know  the  life  around 
them  as  few  travelers  or  sojourners  do. 

Alsop,  Gulielma  Fell.    My  Chinese  days.    Little,  1918. 

This  reads  like  fiction  founded  on  fact ;  the  intimate  and  personal  narra- 
tive of  a  young  American  woman  who  went  as  a  medical  missionary  to 
China.  Her  descriptions  of  the  quaint  Chinese  customs  which  she  met  in 
her  practice  are  dramatic  and  colorful,  and  the  essentials  of  Chinese  char- 
acter are  cleverly  portrayed.  Her  own  love  affair  with  an  attractive  young 
American  who  turns  up  at  exactly  the  right  time  has  a  prominent  place 
in  the  narrative. 

Munson,  Arley.    Jungle  days.    Appleton,  1913. 

A  journal  of  a  woman-physician-missionary's  experience  and  work  for 
five  years  in  the  jungle  villages  of  India,  giving  sometimes  amusing,  often 
pathetic  and  pitiful  glimpses  of  the  life  of  the  natives,  the  condition  of 
the  women  and  children,  and  showing  the  almost  unbelievable  superstition 
and  ignorance  in  their  care  of  the  sick.  It  would  tend  to  convince  even 
the  most  skeptical  of  the  need  for  medical  missionaries. 

Neve,  Arthur.    Thirty  years  in  Kashmir.     Longmans,  1913. 

The  author's  account  of  his  work  and  holiday  experiences  as  medical 
missionary  at  Srinagur,  Kashmir.  Records  of  mountain  climbing  figure 
largely  and  much  is  given  on  natural  history  and  geology;  but  the  chief 
interest  lies  in  the  vivid  descriptions  of  an  almost  unknown  region  of  the 
Himalaya  and  Karakorum  mountains.     Good  illustrations  and  map.

Dr.  Ussher  records  his  fifteen  years'  experience  as  a  medical  missionary

and  head  of  a  hospital  in  Asiatic  Turkey.  More  important  perhaps  is  the 
narration  of  his  experiences  as  an  eye-witness  of  the  Turkish  massacre 
of  the  Armenians,  and  the  flight  of  the  Americans  and  Armenians  from 
the  country.

self, her  husband  and  an  expert  chauffeur.  Archeological  and  ethnological

do  not.

along  the  Pacific  coast,  off  the  beaten  track.  Interesting  to  travelers  and 
a  strong  argument  for  "seeing  America  first."  Gives  historical  background 
and  enough  facts  and  figures  to  make  the  book  useful  to  home-seekers.

appreciation  of  nature,  humor,  the  tramed  eye  of  a  scientist  and  the  style 
of  an  artist.    The  result  is  a  book  of  rare  interest  and  enduring  charm.

in  reaching  an  altitude  "2,")00  feet  higher  than  any  man  residing  in  the

during  a  five  years'  stay.  Chief  attention  is  given  to  the  mountains  and 
mining,  with  stories  of  lost  mines,  comment  on  ancient  mining  methods, 
superstitions.  The  choice  of  subjects  throughout  is  unhackneyed,  the  point 
of  view  enthusiastic  and  uncritical,  and  much  information  on  the  Mexican 
people  is  imparted  in  a  readal)le  way.     Illustrated  with  photographs.

trace  their  origin  and  their  future  development.

ton, 1913. 

Charming  descriptions  of  the  picturesque  and  interesting  country  and

style,  the  Nation  says,  "fits  his  matter,  fresh  and  springing  like  blue-grass,

NATIONAL  CHARACTERISTICS 

Those  who  are  interested  primarily  in  people  will  care  for 
this  group.  Here  will  be  found  a  study  of  the  qualities  that 
differentiate  peoples  from  one  another.  Books  of  a  similar 
interest  will  be  found  under  the  headings,  Social  Life  and 
Customs  and  The  United  States  Through  Foreign  Eyes. 

Birmingham,  George  A.    The  lighter  side  of  Irish  life.    Stokes, 
1912. 

Only  an  Irishman,  gifted  with  the  proverbial  sympathy  and  sparkling 


VIEWPOINTS  IN  TRAVEL  35 

humor  of  his  race,  could  have  drawn  these  deligluful  pictures  which 
rediscover  for  Enghsh  literature  several  distinctive  Irish  types,  inter- 
preting them  with  fidelity,  strength  and  charm.  The  sixteen  water-color 
reproductions  by  Henry  W.  Kerr  have  unusual  attractiveness. 

Emerson,  Ralph  Waldo.     English  traits.     Houghton,  1891. 

This  is  one  of  the  "Classics  of  travel,"  but  it  is  also  one  of  the  first  and 
best  examples  of  shrewd  but  kindly  interpretation  of  national  character. 

Bigelow,  Poultney.     Prussian  memories,  1864-1914.     Putnam, 
1915. 

Spirited,  diverting  reminiscences,  in  which  the  author  recalls  the  times

also  many  later  experiences  when  he  was  confronted  with  Prussian 
thought  and  political  machinery. 

Holmes,  Edmond  Gore  Alexander.     The  nemesis  of  docility. 
Button,  1916. 

An  attempt  to  find  "the  central  impulse,  the  dominant  trait  of  character 
of  an  entire  people."  The  author  uses  the  term  docility  in  a  disparaging 
sense,  to  denote  a  lack  of  initiative  and  servile  obedience  which  is  capable 
of  becoming  "a  destructive  force  of  extreme  violence."  Thought  provok- 
ing and  interesting. 

Edgeworth,  Edward.     The  human  German.     Button. 

Clever,  amusing  satire  on  things  German.    Written  just  before  the  war.

throughout.    Nation. 

James,  Henry.    A  little  tour  in  France ;  illus.  by  Joseph  Pen- 
nell.     Houghton,  1900. 

One  could  hardly  have  a  more  charming  picture  book  of  France.  He 
knows  the  French,  their  history,  their  mind  and  their  customs  considerably 
better  than  most  travelers  do.    Spectator. 

Jerrold,  Laurence.     France,  her  people  and  her  spirit.     Bobbs- 
Merrill,  1916. 

France  seen  through  the  eyes  of  this  keen  critic  in  the  light  of  its  new 
awakening  since  1914.  It  is  an  historical  and  political  analysis  of  the 
French  people  and  the  French  government,  the  men  and  women  who  made 
France,  the  church,  and  arms  in  war  and  peace.    Well  illustrated.

Varied  sketches  of  life  and  scenes,  by  one  who  knows  the  Sicilian 
country  and  people  intimately  and  writes  with  sympathy  and  charm,  and

custom  that  underlie  modern  life  in  Sicily. 

Ellis,  Havelock.    The  soul  of  Spain.     Houghton,  1908. 

Delightful  blend  of  the  comments  of  a  thoroughly  informed  and  appre- 
ciative traveler  and  the  observations  of  a  keen  student  of  races  and  social

admirably  before  us  the  men  and  tendencies  which  have  gone  to  the 
making  of  Spain  and  the  Spaniard  today.  Lucid,  forcible  style,  pleasant 
humor. 

Baring,  Maurice.     The  mainsprings  of  Russia.     Nelson,  1914. 

Analyzes  Russian  life  and  character  in  a  series  of  condensed  though 
interesting  chapters,  which  tell  just  what  the  average  inquirer  wants  to 
know  about  the  peasant,  the  nobility,  the  government,  the  church,  etc. 

Reynolds,  Rothay.     My  Slav  friends.     Button,  1916. 

The  author  endeavors,  vrith  a  maximum  of  personal  reminiscence  and 
anecdote  and  a  minimum  of  formal  description,  to  give  a  true  idea  of  the 
characteristics  of  the  Russian  people,  as  he  has  observed  them  in  his 
intimate  life  among  them. 

De  Bunsen,  Victoria.    The  soul  of  a  Turk.    Lane,  1910.    o.  p. 

Experiences  of  an  intelligent  and  sympathetic  woman  who  in  the  course 
of  several  journeys  in  the  Turkish  provinces  of  Asia  Minor  came  suffi- 
ciently in  touch  with  the  people  to  gain  an  insight  into  their  feelings, 
superstitions  and  philosophy  of  life. 

Ross,  Edward  Alsworth.     The  changing  Chinese.     Century, 
1911. 

One  of  the  most  readable  and  informing  of  recent  books  on  China.  The 
author  regards  the  Chinese  from  the  standpoint  of  a  practical  sociologist 
and  after  six  months'  first-hand  study  feels  that  "allowing  for  difference 
in  outfit  of  knowledge  and  fundamental  ideas,  they  act  much  as  we  should 
act  under  their  circumstances."  He  finds  the  "yellow  peril"  real  and  immi- 
nent, and  that  nothing  but  a  concerted  policy  of  exclusion  can  avert  it.  A 
military  "yellow  peril"  he  dismisses  as  "dream  stuf?"  and  believes  that  "the 
fighting  spirit  of  the  new  army  may  well  be  doubted." 

Smith,  A.  H.    Chinese  characteristics.    Rev.  ed.    Revell,  1900. 
Long  residence  among  the  people,  with  command  of  their  language,  has 


VIEWPOINTS  IN  TRAVEL  37 

enabled  the  author  to  see  the  Chinese  as  they  are.     While  pitilessly  telling 
the  truth,  there  is  nothing  cynical  in  his  comments. 

Gulick,  S.  L.     Evolution  of  the  Japanese,  social  and  psychic. 
Revel!.  1903. 

Study  of  Japanese  race  characteristics,  social,  mental  and  moral,  and  of 
the  possibilities  of  western  influence.

1918. 

Impressions  whimsical  and  serious  of  the  "folks  and  folksiness"  of  the 
middle  west  today.  The  author  humors  the  peculiarities  of  the  "valley" 
in  a  way  that  offers  a  tribute  to  its  democracy. 

Flandrau,  Charles  Macomb,     Viva  Mexico!     Appleton,  1908. 

Vivid,  sympathetic  and  humorous  impressions  of  Mexican  life  and  char- 
acter by  an  American  resident.    Unusually  readable  and  well  founded. 

Cooper,  Clayton  Sedgwick.     Understanding  South   America. 
Doran,  1918. 

"I  have  tried  to  point  out  some  of  the  leading  characteristics  and  ten- 
dencies of  the  South  Americans,  to  pive  some  inkling  of  the  national 
background  and  the  natural  resources."    Preface. 

Koebel,  William  Henry.    The  South  Americans.    Dodd,  1915. 

This  book,  by  the  author  of  several  works  on  the  individual  South 
American  states,  is  a  compendium  on  all  phases  of  progress  in  South 
America  during  the  last  twenty-five  years.  A  well  informed,  interesting 
study,  devoted  to  the  people  of  the  various  republics,  their  likenesses  and 
differences,  rather  than  to  the  countries.  Intended  for  a  British  public, 
the  remarks  on  the  Monroe  Doctrine  and  commercial  matters  are  notably 
judicial  and  opportune. 

Ross,  Edward  Alsworth.     South  of  Panama.     Century.  1915. 

A  sociologist's  interpretation  of  South  American  life,  the  rcMilt  of 
recent  travel  and  study  in  Colombia,  Ecuador,  and  the  other  we«t  coast 
countries,  south  to  Chile  and  Argentina.  His  purpose,  he  states,  is  to  tell 
the  truth  about  the  people;  and  if  the  results  are  often  imflatfcring,  it  must 
be  borne  in  mind  that  much  of  the  territory  visited  is  not  representative 
of  the  highest  South  American  culture.  Concrete  and  interesting  chapters 
on  caste,  morals,  women,  education,  religion,  and  government. 

Freer,  William  Bowen.    Philippine  experiences  of  an  .\mcrican 
teacher.    Scribner,  1906. 

Narrative  of  three  years'  teaching  and  travel.  Particularly  interesting 
for  the  light  it  throws  on  many  phases  of  life  and  character  not  touched 
to  any  extent  in  other  books,  and  its  testimony  to  the  real  progress  of 
American  educational  work  on  the  islands,

NATIONAL  IDEALS 

The  common  body  of  hopes,  purposes,  aspirations  that  con- 
stitute the  soul  of  a  people.  Other  books  of  like  character  are 
under  East  and  West  and  Interpretations. 

Hugel,  Friedrich,  freiherr  von.  The  German  soul  in  its  atti- 
tude towards  ethics  and  Christianity,  the  state  and  war. 
Button,  1916. 

Interesting  as  the  work  of  a  noted  Catholic  scholar  and  philosopher,  of 
German  descent  and  British  sympathies,  and  as  a  profound  and  eminently 
impartial  study  of  German  theories  regarding  the  connection  between  the 
state  and  ethical  and  religious  conceptions.  Analyzes  the  doctrines  of 
Naumann,  Troeltsch,  and  other  thinkers. 

McLaren,  A.  D.    Germanism  from  within.    Button,  1916. 

An  interesting  analysis  of  German  policies,  characteristics,  and  ideals. 
The  author  dispassionately,  but  with  analytical  clearness,  discloses  that 
strange  combination  of  mysticism  and  ruthlessness,  of  religious  fervor  and 
cruelty  which  seems  to  him  to  characterize  the  German  national  char- 
acter. Mr.  McLaren's  sympathies  are  strongly  with  the  Allies,  but  his 
long  residence  in  Germany  has  left  him  with  a  kindly  feeling  toward 
many  German  ideals. 

Rohrbach,  Paul.  German  world  policies;  tr.  by  Edmund  von 
Mach.     Macmillan,  1915. 

Translation  of  the  work  of  a  much  read  German  writer  on  economics 
and  politics,  which  appeared  in  1912,  written  to  the  German  people  in  a 
spirit  of  friendly  though  unsparing  criticism.  He  is  a  practical  idealist, 
with  ultimate  faith  in  moral  and  cultural  rather  than  material  conquests; 
consequently  the  work  strikes  a  different  note  from  the  doctrines  of  Bern- 
hardi  and  Treitschke. 

Graham,  Stephen.  The  way  of  Martha  and  the  way  of  Mary. 
Macmillan,  1915. 

Poetically,  dramatically,  the  writer  interprets  the  older  Russia,  specially 
as  it  manifests  itself  in  religious  life  and  feeling,  and  contrasts  eastern 
Christianity,  which  follows  the  "way  of  Mary,"  the  way  of  religious  emo- 
tion and  mysticism,  with  western  Christianity,  which  walks  in  the  "way  of 
Martha  and  service."  "The  book  is  a  kind  of  ritual  dirge  for  the  passing 
of  picturesque  Russia,  the  Russia  of  colorful  peasants,  rapt  mystics,  pov- 
erty, and  Oriental  aloofness  from  the  world." 

Hearn,  Lafcadio.  Kokoro ;  hints  and  echoes  of  Japanese  inner 
life.    Houghton,  1896. 

Sympathetic  and  artistic  portrayal  of  emotional  life  as  seen  in  Japanese 
patriotism,  religiousness,  romantic  love,  etc.

ing with  the  camera.  The  game  has  been  brought  back  in  the  form  of 
many  interesting  photographs  of  scenery,  flowers,  animals  and  birds,  which 
add  greatly  to  the  attractiveness  of  the  text.  A  sensible  plea  is  made  in

with  the  literature  and  life  of  the  region.     Well  illustrated.

Bride,  1912. 

This  narrative  of  the  author's  visit  to  a  beautiful,  remote  valley  in  the 
Pyrenees  forms  a  diverting  little  book  which  is  full  of  interest  and  will 
appeal  to  readers  who  like  to  know  of  unusual  places  described  in  an 
unusual  way.  The  origin,  customs  and  characteristics  of  "the  oldest, 
highest,  poorest  and,  in  population,  smallest  republic  in  the  world"  arc 
vividly  related  and  a  suitable  historical  background  is  provided.  Good

Edwards,  George  Wharton.     Marken  and  its  people.     Moffat, 
1912. 

Intimate  sketches  of  Marken  and  its  people,  who  are  still  sufficiently 
isolated  to  have  retained  their  curious  customs  and  much  of  their  original 
mode  of  thought  and  life.  The  artist-author,  living  on  the  island  at  dif- 
ferent times,  became  familiar  with  the  home  life  and  personal  character- 
istics of  many  of  the  islanders.  His  sympathetic  and  artistic  sketches  arc 
pleasingly  reproduced  from  sepia  tones. 

Bury,  G.   Wyman.     The   land  of  Uz,  by  Abdallah   Mansiir.

A  cheery  and  interesting  account  of  ten  years'  experience  in  the  British 
protectorate  of  Aden  and  in  the  almost  unknown  part  of  southwestern 
Arabia  away  from  the  coast.  The  author,  who  is  the  European  best 
acquainted  with  the  tribes  and  chieftains  of  these  regions,  traveled  in 
native  fashion,  wearing  native  dress.  He  gives  much  information  and 
describes  several  thrilling  adventures.    Illustrations  from  photographs. 


PERSONAL  IMPRESSIONS 

The  interest  of  this  group  is  in  the  reactions  of  the  writers 
rather  than  in  the  places  or  things  seen.  Much  the  same  sort  of 
interest  attaches  to  the  books  grouped  under  The  Spirit  of 
Places. 

Bennett,  Arnold.   Paris  nights  and  other  impressions  of  places 
and  people.     Doran,  1913.

A  series  of  entertaining  impressions  set  down  by  the  premier  of  France, 
who  made  no  notes  and  collected  no  statistics  during  his  three  months' 
visit.  Exceptional  opportunities  for  meeting  persons  of  social  and  political 
prominence,  good  judgment,  an  amiable  attitude  and  keen  wit  lend  his 
pages  an  unusual  quality,  and  a  four  years'  residence  in  the  United  States, 
in  addition  to  his  long  career  in  France,  gives  him  authoritative  basis  for 
illuminating  comparison. 

Dreiser,  Theodore.    A  traveler  at  forty.     Century,  1913. 

Unconventional  travel  sketches  mostly  made  up  of  the  author's  personal 
impressions  and  a  chronicle  of  his  experiences  on  his  first  trip  to  Europe. 
Places  interest  him  less  than  people,  and  these  rather  as  an  expression  of 
temperament  than  in  any  other  aspect.  He  has  a  wide  curiosity  which 
embraces  all  conditions  and  leads  him  very  often  into  the  underworld. 
The  sketches  are  interesting,  have  a  realistic  style  of  their  own,  and  in 
places  are  very  vivid.

connected chapters,  and  a  number  of  beautiful  photographs.

Kipling,  Rudyard.    From  sea  to  sea.    Doublcday,  1907.

Loti,  Pierre.     Siam ;  tr.  from  the  French  by  W.   P.  Baines. 
McKay,  1914. 

A  delightful  record  of  the  writer's  travels  in  French  Indo-China  in  1901. 
He  lingers  longest  at  Angkor,  the  ruined  city  whose  name  cast  its  spell 
over  him  in  childhood.  In  the  dedication  he  alludes  pertinently  to  the 
thousands  of  French  soldiers  who  perished  there,  when  their  lives  should 
have  been  spared  "for  the  last  defense  of  our  beloved  French  land." 

Lucas,  Edward  Verrall.    A  wanderer  in  Holland.     Macniillan,

In  form,  the  diary  of  a  South  Carolina  woman,  owner  and  manager  of 
two  rice  plantations.  "With  its  humor  and  its  poignancy  mingling  at 
every  turn,  with  the  performances  of  the  negroes,  the  performances  of

her  grandfather's  plantation  in  the  South,  describing  the  genial  household, 
the  old  darky  servants,  the  pleasant  leisurely  life,  the  small  events  which 
loomed  large  in  her  childish  eyes.  Told  with  humor  and  appreciation,  it 
makes  a  picture  of  times  and  people  gone  by — a  picture  worth  keeping.

The  account  of  the  senior  geologist  of  Scott's  last  expedition,  with  sum- 
maries of  his  explorations.  Its  chief  interest,  however,  is  not  scientific,

ical and  ecclesiastical  conditions  in  Ireland  during  the  past  five  years  "of 
storm  and  charm"  as  encountered  by  the  author,  whose  journalistic  work 
has  been  denounced  by  the  orthodox  Irish  clergy  as  tending  to  Modernism. 
It  gives  a  coherent  picture  of  the  men  and  forces  concerned  in  Ireland's 
regeneration,  as  well  as  a  vivid  idea  of  the  activities  of  the  Gaelic  League 
and  of  the  influence  of  Catholicism.

social  problems  arising  out  of  the  war. 

Garlanda,  Federico.    The  new  Italy.    Putnam,  1911. 

Informing  study  of  Italy  as  it  was  10  years  ago,  discussing  the  fiscal 
system,  administration  of  public  funds,  land  tenure,  education,  the  clerical 
situation,  army,  Mafia,  etc.  Fills  a  gap  for  the  educated  reader  and 
traveler. 

Low,  Sidney.     Egypt  in  transition ;  with  an  introduction  by 
the  Earl  of  Cromer.    Macmillan,  1914. 

Mr.  Low  begins  in  the  Sudan  and  continues  downward  to  the  Nile  delta, 
revealing  the  political,  social,  and  admmistrative  conditions  of  the  region 
since  the  reconquest  of  Sudan  by  Lord  Kitchener.  He  explains  the  Anglo- 
Egyptian  government  in  the  Sudan  and  approves  of  the  state  socialism 
provided  to  protect  the  natives,  but  passes  over  events  that  have  hardly 
been  to  the  credit  of  the  Foreign  Office  at  home.  Presents  in  a  readable 
style  much  of  interest  to  the  serious  reader  and  the  tourist. 

Bury,  G.  Wyman.    Arabia  infelix;  or,  The  Turks  in  Yamen. 
Macmillan,  1915. 

A  most  informing  volume,  the  outgrowth  of  fifteen  years'  intimate 
observation  and  experience  in  this  little  known  portion  of  southwest 
Arabia.  Describes  the  flora  and  fauna,  native  life,  something  of  the  trade, 
little  of  the  geography.  Its  most  interesting  feature,  however,  is  its  keen 
interpretation  of  Turko-Asian  politics  and  the  resulting  problems. 

Wise,  Bernhard  Ringrose.    Commonwealth  of  Australia.    Lit-

Collier,  Price.     Germany  and  the  Germans  from  an  American 
point  of  view.    Scribner,  1913. 

These  articles  present  a  graphic  picture  of  the  men,  institutions,  social 
life  and  national  characteristics  of  pre-war  Germany.  The  author  believed 
Germany  a  non-progressive  nation  under  the  heel  of  bureaucracy  and 
militarism.  The  essays  are  brilliantly  written,  and  often  shrewd  and  just, 
but  are  marred  by  an  air  of  "jaunty  cocksureness."

The  Austrian  section  describes  governmental  machinery  and  politics, 
(•ducation,  literature,  art  and  music,  the  press.  The  Hungarian  section 
lias  the  same  type  of  material,  with  a  good  account  of  social  legislation

Mackenzie,  Jean  Kenyon.    Black  sheep.    Houghton,  1916. 

Unusually  interesting  letters,  written  to  her  father  by  an  American 
woman,  a  missionary  from  1904  to  1913  on  the  west  coast  of  Africa,  in 
Kamerun  and  the  French  Congo.  Rather  impersonal,  impressionistic,  they 
tell  little  of  the  work,  but  much  of  the  childlikeness  of  the  people,  for 
whom  the  author  had  a  deep  sympathy  and  whom  she  loved. 

Melland,  Frank  Hulme  and  E.  H.  Cholmeley.     Through  the 
heart  of  Africa.    Houghton,  1912. 

This  account  of  a  journey  through  German  East  Africa  to  the  Victoria 
Nyanza,  through  Uganda  to  the  Soudan,  and  thence  down  the  Nile  to 
Cairo,  profits  from  the  extended  experience  of  African  life  and  travel 
which  a  long  residence  in  Rhodesia  gave  the  authors.  It  is  nowhere  trivial 
nor  padded  and  displays  a  keen  interest  in  all  phases  of  life  in  the  many 
native  villages  visited. 

Starr,  Frederick.   Truth  about  the  Congo.   Forbes,  1907. 

A  distinguished  ethnologist's  impressions  gained  during  a  year's  travel.

attempt  to  rule  primitive  peoples  and  discourages  American  intervention. 

Evans,  Maurice  Smethurst.     Black  and  white  in  South  East

The  author,  as  a  justice  of  the  peace  in  Natal  and  a  member  of  the 
Natal  Native  Affairs  Commission  (1907),  speaks  with  the  authority  of 
experience  in  presenting  his  view  of  the  race  question  in  South  E^st 
Africa.  He  believes  that  the  interests  of  the  white  colonist  and  the  native 
are  and  will  continue  to  be  best  served  when  the  negro  is  regarded  as 
the  inferior  race  and  governed  by  the  white  man,  and  he  maps  out  a  plan 
of  governmental  procedure  which  has  given  rise  to  much  adverse  com- 
ment in  England.  The  work  adds  much  to  the  general  knowledge  of  the 
country  and  its  history.

and  customs,  both  native  and  European,  writing  with  a  kindly  humor  that 
gives  her  record  "a  living  interest  which  is  sometimes  lacking  in  more 
ambitious  efforts."    Partly  illustrated  with  native  prints.

the  empress  from  1903  to  1905.  The  intimate  picture  of  court  life  and 
of  the  crafty,  superstitious,  vain,  wise  empress  she  presents  is  exceptionally 
interesting.  The  emperor  was  represented  as  extremely  intelligent  and

Butler,  Samuel.     Alps  and  sanctuaries  of  Piedmont  and  the 
Canton  Ticino.     New  enl.  ed.     Dutton,  1913. 

A  book  mainly  of  appreciation — appreciation  of  places,  monuments, 
people  in  their  proper,  picturesque  setting.  The  sketches  with  which 
every  chapter  is  illustrated  are  inseparable  from  the  book  itself;  they  are 
part  of  the  whole  design,  and  are  as  characteristic  as  the  sentences  in  the 
text.  For  Hutler,  literature,  art  and  music  go  together  as  modes  of 
expressing  life  as  it  appears  to  him.  He  pens  a  paragraph,  makes  a  sketch 
of  what  he  sees  and  inserts  fragments  from  a  musical  score.  Thus  alone 
is  Italy,  as  he  sees  it,  to  be  represented  in  a  book. — Xation   (Land.).    (B)

thoughts  and  philosophy  of  his  eastern  friends.  The  spirit  of  the  region 
he  has  seized  and  given  to  us  with  charm  and  humor.

Douglas,  Norman.    Siren  land.    Button,  1911. 

A  book  about  the  neighborhood  of  Capri,  a  remarkable  example  of  topo- 
graphical literature.  He  presents  with  rare  imagination  the  feeling  of  a 
place  in  the  atmosphere  of  which  he  had  soaked  himself,  which  particularly 
lent  itself  to  reflections  upon  the  Latin  and  Italian  antiquities  familiar  to 
him ;  the  whole  flavored  with  the  masculine  wisdom  and  humor  of  a  man 
who  has  acquired  the  one  and  nourished  the  other  in  many  countries. —

Lapland — its  history  and  the  character  of  its  people — described  very 
interestingly  through  photographs  and  narrative  of  travels.  But  the  main 
purpose  of  the  book  seems  to  be  to  serve  as  a  guide  to  travelers  interested 
in  winter  sports,  for  whom  the  appendixes  give  detailed  directions  as  to 
roads,  resthouses,  etc.

author  has  attempted  "to  convey  an  impression  of  the  genius  of  the 
Japanese  people,  not  by  definition  nor  by  characterization,  but  by  making 
clear  its  reHection  in  the  vital  landscape  of  the  country."

national  characteristics,  religion  and  morals,  education,  and  the  relations

civilization.  "It  is  what  we  desire  to  know  of  a  foreign  culture  told  to  us

ditions in  the  countries  of  the  Caribbean,  which  should  be  of  great  value 
to  the  political  thinker  and  to  the  business  man  of  large  aims.  He  also 
gives^a  great  deal  of  precise  information  in  regard  to  trade  which  is  useful 
independent  of  the  conclusions  which  it  helps  to  support."— A^or/A  Amer-

Reyes,  Rafael.    The  two  Americas ;  tr.  from  the  Spanish,  with 
added  notes  by  Leopold  Grahame.    Stokes,  1914. 

Writing  from  the  varied  experience  of  explorer,  diplomat,  ex-president 
of  Colombia  and  first-hand  observer,  General  Reyes  describes  the  political 
and  industrial  situation  and  commercial  possibilities  of  the  South  Amer- 
ican republics  individually,  with  the  avowed  object  of  promoting  a  clearer 
understanding  in  the  United  States.  A  good  presentation  of  Latin  Amer- 
ica's attitude  toward  the  United  States  and  the  Monroe  doctrine. 


THE  UNITED  STATES  THROUGH  FOREIGN  EYES 

Brooks,  John  Graham.    As  others  see  us.     Macmillan,  1908. 

Collates  the  opinions  expressed  about  the  United  States  by  distinguished 
foreign  visitors  from  Captain  Basil  Hall  in  1827  to  Professor  Miinster- 
berg,  commenting  frankly  and  shrewdly. 

Bennett,  Arnold.     Your  United  States :  impressions  of  a  first 
visit.    Harper,  1912. 

During  a  five  months'  visit,  extending  from  New  York  to  Chicago,  Mr. 
Bennett  was  given  exceptional  opportunities  to  observe  various  aspects  of 
our  material,  literary  and  social  life.  These  chapters  in  which  he  reviews 
his  trip  for  American  readers  are  extremely  entertaining,  not  only  for  his 
very  original  and  often  illuminating  comments  on  what  he  saw,  but  for 
what  he  failed  to  see  entirely  or  saw  too  inadequately  to  form  correct 
impressions.  To  readers  of  Mr.  Bennett's  books  they  will  perhaps  have 
most  interest  as  a  commentary  on  the  man  himself. 

Birmingham,  George  A.     From  Dublin  to  Chicago.     Doran, 
1914. 

A  series  of  casual  jottings  and  reflections  on  things  American.  The 
gentle  humorous  whimsicalities  and  occasional  keener  flashes  of  insight 
make  the  impressions  interesting  reading. 

Estournelles   de   Constant,   Paul   Henri   Benjamin,   Baron  d'. 
America  and  her  problems.    Macmillan,  1915. 

An  informal  collection  of  travel  sketches  and  comments  on  American 
life,  problems,  and  policies,  the  result  of  various  lecture  trips  through  the 
country.  The  writer's  attitude  is  that  of  a  sympathetic  and  urbane  ob- 
server, genuinely  interested  in  democracy  and  peace.  His  generous 
idealization  of  most  things  American  is  perhaps  responsible  for  some  of 
the  errors  of  judgment  and  inaccuracies  in  an  otherwise  just  and  pene- 
trating book. 

MacQuarrie,  Hector.     Over  here ;  impressions  of  America,  by 
a  British  officer.     Lippincott,  1918. 

The  author  of  How  to  live  at  the  front  is  pleasantly  chatty  in  these 
impressions  of  America  which  he  formed  while  inspecting  the  Bethlehem

steel  works.  Giving  interesting  local  color  of  this  particular  place,  he  is 
typically  P^nglish  and  generally  appreciative  of  American  life,  and  when 
he  is  critical,  it  is  with  as  much  amusement  at  his  own.  as  at  .American 
peculiarities. 

Miinsterberg,  Hugo.     American  traits  from  the  point  of  view 
of  a  German.     14oughton,  1901. 

Informal  essays  comparing  German  and  American  ideals,  education, 
scholarship,  women  and  democracy. 

The  Americans;  tr.  by  E.  B.  Holt.     Douhleday.  1904. 

Popular  philosophic  study  of  American  political,  economic,  intellectual 
and  social  life.  Written  for  Germans,  it  complements  his  American  traits, 
addressed  to  Americans. 


Robinson,   Harry   Perry.     The  twentieth   century   American. 
Putnam,  1908. 

Since  the  appearance  of  Mr.  Bryce's  "American  commonwealth"  some 
'JO  years  since,  no  Englishman  till  now  has  published  observations  on  the 
American  people  of  such  value  as  these. — Outlook.    (B) 

Wells,  Herbert  George.     Future  in  America.    Harper,  1906. 

Sums  up  impressions  of  a  recent  visit  to  America  in  an  attempt  to 
answer  the  question,  "What  is  going  to  happen  to  the  United  States  in 
the  next  ;w  years?" 

Wu  Ting-fang.    Ainerica  throus^h  the  spectacles  of  an  oriental 
(lil)l()mat.     Stokes.  1914. 

The  ex-ambassador  comments  on  manners  and  customs,  education, 
women,  clothes,  children,  and  compares  Chinese  and  .Xmerican  civilization 
in  his  own  entertaining  and  whimsically  naive  way.  He  is  on  the  whole 
a  kindly  observer,  but  this  does  not  i)reclude  some  keen  criticism.  His 
chapters  on  government  and  politics  are  more  "diplomatic"  and  non- 
committal and  so  less  worth  while. 


UNUSUAL  JOURNEYS 
Somewhat  akin  in  sjiirit  to  the  group  under  X'agabonding. 

Beaman,  Arden.     Travels  without  Baedeker.     Lane,  1913. 

Whimsical  account  of  an  Expedition  of  One  attempting  to  see  as  much 
of  the  Orient  as  possible  on  a  very  narrow  financial  margin,  an  attempt 
which  brought  him  into  close  touch  with   real  life.

Childs,  W.  J.    Across  Asia  Minor  on  foot.    Dodd,  1916. 

Diary  of  a  leisurely  foot  journey  of  thirteen  hundred  miles  from 
Samsiin  on  the  Black  Sea  to  Tarsus.  It  possesses  something  of  the  interest 
and  charm  of  Kinglake's  Eothen  and  Burnaby's  Ride  to  Khiva,  and  inci- 
dentally sheds  light  on  the  Armenian  situation  before  the  war  and  the 
German  plan  for  a  railway  to  Bagdad.  The  missions  at  Marsovan  and 
Sivas  are  described  in  detail.

the  old  Hebrew  poets. 

Dingle,  Edwin  J.    Across  China  on  foot.    Holt,  1911. 

The  author  traveled  from  Shanghai  to  Chun-King  by  river  and  thence

he  saw  frankly  and  with  zest. 

Wavell,  A.  J.  B.     A  modern  pilgrim  in  Mecca  and  a  siege  in 
Sanaa.     Small,  1913. 

Disguised  as  a  Mohammedan  pilgrim,  the  writer  visited  Medina  and 
Mecca,  being  the  fourth  Englishman  who  has  ever  set  foot  in  the  latter 
city.  He  is  a  close  and  shrewd  observer,  and  possesses  the  gift  of  graphic 
description  and  a  keen  sense  of  humor.  Much  information  is  given  on 
the  sacred  city  and  its  ceremonials. 

Kendall,  Elizabeth  Kimball.     A  wayfarer  in  China.     Hough- 
ton, 1913. 

A  record  of  a  unique  trip  taken  alone  in  native  conveyances  through  the 
more  untraveled  parts  of  western  China  and  Mongolia,  includmg  the 
Desert  of  Gobi.  With  the  purpose  of  giving  an  impression  of  the  country 
and  people,  rather  than  any  particular  information,  she  presents  lively 
pictures  of  the  scenery  and  native  life  in  a  charmingly  simple  and  direct 
conversational  style.  The  sepia  illustrations  are  original  and  uniformly 
excellent. 

Mathews,  John  Lathrop,    The  log  of  the  "Easy  Way."    Small, 
1911. 

Delightful  account  of  a  journey  the  author  and  his  wife  rnade  ]0  years 
ago  in  a  houseboat  from  Chicago  to  New  Orleans.  The  picture  of  the 
lives  of  river  dwellers  is  unusual,  accurate  and  interesting.

VAGABONDING 

Fletcher,  Alfred  Charles  Benson.    From  jolj  tcj  job  around  the 
world.     Dodd,  1917. 

A  buoyant,  liigli-spirited  account  of  personal  adventure,  with  Kraphic 
pictures  of  places  and  people.     Illustrated  with  good  photographs. 

Franck,    Harry    Alverson.      Vagabond    journey    around    the 
world.    Century,  1910. 

Picturesque  and  extremely  readable  account  of  a  young  college  grad- 
uate's experiences  in  working  his  way,  with  money  only  for  photographic 
materials,  across  the  Atlantic  and  through  Europe,  India  and  Japan. 

Graham,  Stephen.     A  tramp's  sketches.     Macmillan,  1912. 

Meditations  and  descriptions  of  incidents  and  scenes  along  the  Cau- 
casian and  Crimean  shores  of  the  Black  Sea  and  on  a  pilgrimage  with 
Russian  peasants  to  Jerusalem.  They  are  less  interpretive  of  the  country 
than  of  life,  specially  the  author's  attitude  toward  it  and  toward  the 
various  sorts  of  people  he  meets.  Though  not  profound  nor  novel,  there 
is  a  spiritual  signilicance,  a  pleasing  sentiment  and  a  lyrical  quality  about 
them  that  will  attract  educated  readers  who  like  impressionistic,  self- 
revelatory  essays. 

Lindsay,  Nicholas  Vachel.     Adventures  while  preaching  the 
gospel  of  beauty.     Kennerley,  1914. 

Diary  of  a  summer's  foot  journey  taken  by  the  writer,  penniless  and 
alone,  through  the  farm  lands  of  Missouri  and  Kansas,  Colorado  and 
New  Mexico,  while  working  his  way  in  the  fields  and  peddling  his  lit- 
erary wares.  There  is  in  it  appreciation  of  many  things,  of  fields  and  sky. 
of  the  plain  people  he  met  and  the  deficiencies  of  their  lives;  and  an 
unexpected  quiet  humor  that  is  delightful. 

Franck,  Harry  Alverson.     Tramping  through  Mexico,  Guate- 
mala and  Honduras.    Century,  1916. 

"Being  the  random  notes  of  an  incurable  vagabond."  He  tramped  the 
length  of  the  three  countries,  mostly  through  untravclcd  parts,  lived  with 
the  peons,  worked  with  them  in  the  mines,  shared  their  huts,  garnering  a 
variety  of  experiences  and  impressions,  which  he  sets  down  in  his  own 
lively,  straightforward  style,  and  with  no  tlattering  recollections  of  the 
manner  of  life  he  lived. 

Vagabonding  down  the  Andes.     Century.  1917.

so  gay  as  his  former  books,  but  contains  an  immense  amount  of  useful 
information.

Entertaining  account  of  a  three  weeks'  tramping  tour  taken  by  the 
writer  and  his  wife  along  the  course  of  the  river  Dordogne.  It  describes 
the  places  they  saw,  the  people  they  met,  and  even  more  the  author's 
thoughts  by  the  way,  but  is  most  happy  in  that  it  catches  something  of 
the  holiday  mood  of  the  trip.

Guide  for  the  foot-traveler  in  the  Pyrenees,  setting  forth  the  physical

"A  narrative  of  a  thousand-mile  canoe  trip  to  a  littlc-known  range  of 
the  Canadian  Rockies." — Subtitle.  Author  gives  very  good  descriptions  of

Account  of  two  expeditions  made  1907-8  through  Alberta  from  the 
Canadian  Pacific  Railway  to  Aloose  Lake  and  Tete  Jaune  Cache.  Author's 
joy  in  the  life  of  the  wilderness  makes  it  good  reading. 

Cabot,  William  Brooks.    In  northern  Labrador.   Badger,  1912. 

Based  on  six  visits,  during  which  the  author  not  only  came  in  contact 
•with  both  Montagnais  and  Xascaupees,  but  lived  long  with  them  in  their 
lodges.  The  work  "deals  with  wilder  Labrador  as  authoritatively  as  does 
that  of  Dr.  Grenfell  with  the  more  civilized  coast  country,  and  [is]  one 
of  the  most  fascinating  narratives  we  have  ever  read." — .\ation. 

Douglas,  George  Mellis.     Lands  forlorn.     Putnam,  1914. 

After  years  of  work  in  the  arid  southwest,  the  author  was  naturally

one  of  the  rivers  flowing  into  the  Arctic  Sea.  This  book  is  one  of  the

ceeded in  crossing  the  northeastern  plateau  from  the  mission  station,  Nain.

of  this  journey  occupies  about  half  the  work.  The  rest  is  a  lively  descrip-

natural  history.     Illustrated  with  photographs  and  map.

WOMEN  OF  MANY  LANDS 

A  good  deal  about  the  life  and  status  of  women  is  contained 
in  books  under  the  headings  Home  Life  and  Social  Life  and 
Customs. 

Pratz,  Claire  de.    France  from  within.    Doran,  1913. 

French  character,  social  life  and  customs,  family  life,  education,  and 
especially  the  ideals  and  influence  of  the  French  woman  are  intimately 
and  discerningly  described.    The  author  writes  from  first-hand  knowledge. 

Jenkins,  Hester  Donaldson.    Behind  Turkish  lattices;  a  story 
of  a  Turkish  woman's  life.     Chatto,  1911. 

The  chapters  detailing  the  customary  life  of  a  Turkish  woman  contain 
little  that  is  not  as  well  told  in  Harenilik.  The  real  value  of  the  work  lies 
in  its  description  of  changing  social  conditions  in  Turkey,  and  of  the 
educational  influence  of  such  gentlewomen  as  Halideh  and  Ferideh,  jour- 
nalists;  Niguiar,  a  poet;  Fatmah  Alieh,  a  novelist;  Tewfik  Fikret  Bey's 
wife,  who  is  considered  Turkey's  foremost  living  poet,  and  many  others. 
The  author  spent  nine  years  in  Constantinople. 

Ellison,  Grace.    An  Englishwoman  in  a  Turkish  harem.     Mc- 
Bride,  1915. 

Readable,  slight  account  of  present-day  Turkish  life  by  an  English  lady 
who,  during  long  visits  to  Turkey  friends,  lived  so  far  as  possible  after 
their  fashion.  Naturally,  she  found  the  life,  that  of  the  cultivated,  high 
official  classes,  delightful.  She  was  particularly  impressed  by  the  growing 
spirit  of  feminism. 

Brown,  Mrs.  Demetra  (Vaka).     Haremlik ;  some  pages  from 
the  life  of  Turkish  women.     Houghton,  1909. 

Remarkably  well  written  and  favorable  interpretation  of  the  standpoint, 
temperament  and  life  of  Turkish  women,  by  a  woman  of  Greek  parentage 
born  and  bred  in  Constantinople. 

Zeyneb,    haniim.     A  Turkish    woman's    European    impressions. 
Lippincott,   1913. 

The  author  is  said  to  have  been  the  heroine  of  Pierre  Loti's  Les  desen- 
chantees. 

The  letters  are  exceedingly  good  reading.  .  .  .  The  really  interest-

women's  quarter  of  a  Turkish  house. — Spectator.    (B)

Cooper,   Mrs.    Elizabeth    (Beaver).      Tlic    women    of    Egypt.

A  pleasant  record  of  experiences  and  impressions  which  the  author 
gained  while  enjoying  an  extended  and  unusually  intimate  association  with 
Egyptian  and  Bedouin  life.  The  manners  and  customs  of  the  people  in 
general  are  touched  on,  and  Egypt's  future  in  relation  to  that  of  its  women 
is  the  subject  for  prophecy.
